Hello fellows, today I`m going to tell you about my last trip to Argentina. I attend (as most of my degree classmates) to a sociology congress in Buenos Aires. ALAS (Latin American Sociology Association) organized the congress. It took place in the UBA (Buenos Aires`s University), specifically in the Medicine, Deontology and Social Sciences, from August 31st to September 4th 2009.
The weather in Buenos Aires wasn`t the best. The day we arrived it was so hot you hardly can breath, and the next days were cold and rainy. Lots of places were flooded! That was one of bad points about the congress. The organization wasn`t good. Formal aspects were really a mess.
Anyway, the best conference I went to was “Women`s movement and the fight for legal abortion”. I liked it because -however you agree or not with the exponent’s opinion- you could learn a lot both historical and sociological aspects about the topic. The people who gave the conference (mostly women) were super prepared and where very clear, beside a critical opinion about our patriarchal society.
The highlights of the trip were not only the good conferences, but share a lot with my classmates for a few days. Because of I`m in my first University year I haven`t spent too much time whit my generation. Knowing them better was great!

ResponderEliminar"beside a critical opinion about our patriarchal society". The thing is you are not seeing the nature situation between us: we always will be the best and dominating ones. Accept it.
